Jump to PostDate objects don't have a format, they just hold a date.
The SimpleDateFormat class has easy methods to parse strings like yours into Dates, and to display Dates in yopuir desired format.

As James said, a Date object no longer handle date the way you want. Even parse() method of Date class is deprecated. You can look at the SimpleDateFormat API.
